The latest sport news
Following the conclusion of the 2023/24 season in which Sheffield Wednesday beat the drop under Danny Rohl, there’s been a lot of positive stories coming out of the club.
The Owls are already identifying transfer targets for the 2024/25 season and look set to get their first deal over the line soon, with Leeds United youngster Keenan Carole poised to join on a free transfer.
That’s accompanied by rumours of a new deal for Rohl who is currently under contract until the summer of 2025, as well as improvements to the Middlewood training ground.
So Chansiri looks to be making amends, very slowly, with Sheffield Wednesday fans following the torment and strife of the season just concluded.
And Rohl will be pleased to see positive changes being made. But one change, or rather shift in mentality from Chansiri and Wednesday earlier this year will have caught Rohl’s eye.
Earlier this year, there was a week where Sheffield Wednesday made decisions on several of their U21s players.
It was revealed that Adam Alimi-Adetoro and Luke Cook would be leaving, but Devlan Moses, Bruno Fernandes, Sam Reed, Joey Phuthi and Favour Onukwuli were all set to receive new or professional contracts with the club.
It indicated a clear shift towards a focus on youth development, and the seemingly imminent signing Carole from Leeds United also suggests a focus on youth recruitment as well.
Rohl spoke openly upon his arrival in S6 that he wanted to bridge the gap between the youth teams and the first-team at Sheffield Wednesday.
And he’s done that to as much of a degree as possible, with Bailey Cadamarteri coming into the first-team and becoming an important player for Sheffield Wednesday.
